# Infinite Scroll Back Button Behavior

 * I use infinite scroll on my blog ([http://alex.clst.org/dbd](http://alex.clst.org/dbd))
   and though I generally enjoy all the features of Jetpack have one annoyance with
   the infinite scroll module:
 * Say a visitor to the front page of my blog scrolls down to a earlier page of 
   posts and then clicks on one of the posts to read it in detail and/or leave a
   comment. When they go back to the previous page that page is now the page they’d
   scrolled to, but not with an ability to scroll back to the top/front page of 
   the blog. Is there a way, or is it a feature being worked on, to make the back
   button behavior when returning to a infinitely scrollable “page” load the top/
   main page and then scroll to the position they were previously at? Aside from
   this minor annoyance infinite scroll os a great addition to any blog that uses
   Jetpack.

 * Could you try to follow the instructions [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/jetpack-infinite-scroll-feature-appending-pagex-to-url?replies=14#post-3832294)
   to remove the page numbers from Infinite Scroll?
 * Once Infinite Scroll stops adding page numbers, hitting the back button should
   bring the user back to the home page.

 * Thanks, that fixed the issue of not returning to the home page. But I find that
   only about less than 1/3 of the time, when you go to posts on the first infinite
   load, that the browser returns the scroll position to where you were before going
   to the post’s page. So I’d still like it if you (or anyone else) had any ideas
   of how to get the site to automatically return the scroll posit to where the 
   visitor was before loading a post. This is a low priority issue, what you already
   helped me fix was the big issue here, but one that I’d love to see working someday
   if possible.

 * I see what you mean. I took note of your feedback, and we’ll see if we can change
   that behaviour in a future Jetpack release.
